MCCC Cover Crop Essentials
2025
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Description:
Cover crops can be a great tool for farmers interested in preventing erosion and improving soil health. With recent increases in public and private funding for cover crop implementation, more farmers are expected to try cover crops for the first time. Cover crops are not a new practice but in recent decades, lessons learned from research and on-farm innovation can help farmers maximize the benefits from cover crops. In this course, we will explore the latest research and innovation that can help farmers make informed decisions whether they are trying cover crops for the first time or are interested in experimenting with a new cover crop species or new seeding method. This course is an opportunity for professionals to develop their capacity to support farmers in cover crop implementation across a range of Midwest cropping systems.
This will consist of 9 weeks of instruction. Each week, there will be lectures to watch on your own time with quizzes to check for comprehension. Students have the opportunity to post questions in a discussion board and there will be optional readings related to the lecture topics. Every other week, the cohort will meet by Zoom to discuss the lecture topics and to receive instruction necessary to complete the lab activities.
The course start date is July 28, 2025.
The course end date is November 17, 2025.
Registration in this course is subject to the Purdue University Online Non-Credit Policies.
